Fantastic was a weekly British comic book magazine published by Odhams Press under the Power Comics imprint. It first appeared on 18 Feb '67, and with its 52nd issue on 10 Feb '68 it merged with its sister title Terrific. The 89th and final issue of Fantastic appeared on 7 Sept '68, after which it was merged into Smash! Fantastic was different from the earlier Power Comics such as Smash! and Pow!, which were essentially traditional Beano-style British comic papers supplemented by a small amount of material reprinted from Marvel Comics. In contrast, Fantastic (and later Terrific as well) were more American in appearance, resembling the black-and-white comic anthologies of the time such as Creepy and Eerie.
